This week in game releases: February 16-22, 2009

Fighting fans have something to celebrate, as Street Fighter IV is finally …

It has been a long time coming, but Street Fighter IV is finally hitting home consoles this week. With a huge cast of characters, an incredible new art style, and back-to-basics controls, the game will attempt to bring both the SF franchise and fighting games in general back into the limelight. If you plan on playing seriously though, you should probably invest in a new controller or arcade stick. Watch for a full review tomorrow.

This is also a great week for portable RPGs, both of the classic and strategy variety. Following Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, Square Enix is releasing another DQ remake. This time it's the fifth game in the franchise, Hand of the Heavenly Bride. SRPG fans should also be pleased to hear that Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is hitting the Nintendo DS this week as well, which will introduce online play for the first time in the series. Hit the jump for the full release list.
